Speculating on OpenAI's potential Astra release, the author suggests that a full 10T parameter version would be expensive. Their best guess is that the current $20 GPT-5.5/5.6 models have 2-3T parameters, implying a 10T Astra could cost between $66-$100. They also suggest a 5T version priced at $40-$50 is plausible.
